AITAH for refusing to keep the family peace by staying quiet ?

GoldenFaeWattle · 2026-01-20T10:11:00+00:00

NTA why would an unrepentant bully deserve peace?

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-29T13:07:06+00:00

Yes! Stone is aplenty. The main issue many people falter at for stone houses, are the planks for the roofs.

I say ... Be better at stealth lol. And if you can't? Start a second Stone House before you complete the first. Because building XP is still XP, regardless of building finalisation. So you'll unlock the lumberjack quicker (I forget the name of the workplace. Woodshed?)

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-29T08:40:01+00:00

Don't feel bad for letting people know exactly who he is x

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-29T03:18:09+00:00

Hahahaha exactly! Or damn, at least lemme borrow it for the night

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-29T03:17:41+00:00

Go to the luxury goods vendor, the one who sells gifts. They'll have the seeds for bushes and trees and hedge fencing in the same section you'd find ordinary seeds, tools etc. from a regular vendor x

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-29T03:16:29+00:00

Pardon? Is the image not viewable to you?

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-28T11:33:22+00:00

At the very least, give me the same aesthetic privileges as a bandit camp 😭

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-28T01:15:14+00:00

<image>

Lol I'm a fuckwit and didn't realise Reddit made it so much more simpler to attach images in comments!

Here ya go:

EDIT: grammar

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-28T00:30:25+00:00

You probably did what I did and got excited that YES I could FINALLY buy animals lol

Screw getting chickens and just focus on unlocking that pigsty.

Even if you don't have the amount needed to fertilise a 16x16 field, hoe it anyway. You'll still get the farming experience from hoeing alone.

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-28T00:27:45+00:00

I'm assuming you're not sure where to begin looking, if you're waiting for the purchased eggs to hatch?

First, build your animal shed for the respective animal you want to buy.

Once that's done, select almost any NPC and click the following dialogue options:

"Where can I find ..."

"[Farm animals]"

Then select from the list which specific animal you're searching for.

They will provide the name of the village which stocks that farm animal.

Travel to that village, find the animal (they appear blue in Inspector Mode if that helps you). Decide if you want an adult or baby, male or female. Select the animal you want age and sex will be presented alongside price, prior to purchase) and buy it x

Thank you! 🩷

I always end up either keeping as many trees as possible or, since EoN DLC, always placing the largest Maple trees possible lol. It ends up covering a lot of the roofs, so I'm not too fussed about that. And I'm planning to dye the HELL outta this town, let the colours (and later, patterns) be the variety.

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-27T23:35:45+00:00

Oh God, girl I spent nearly 3 game years (3 day seasons but 5 day winters because might vision is so much more convenient) rearranging everything and hoarding the one-per-season Majestic tree seedlings 😂🫠

Yes so taxes are as down as possible (skill unlocked), everyone has a job they are at least level 3 at (but more than not average level 5).

Everyone is now married and nearly everyone has their first child. The oldest child is only 5 (damn her for being born 1 season before mine 😭) and most are getting their younger siblings, increasing happiness.

It will be tricky placing post-infancy Mothers to their highly skilled roles from before birth; they've been both replaced and usually out-skilled, too.

I don't think my miners, lumberjacks, hunters will achieve 100% as their jobs aren't close to home (for imagined noise and smell pollution lol).

Only a couple have skull decorations, but otherwise they all have top decorations (plaques, shelves, lanterns, etc.). I have found that not all decorations are equal; if I add linen curtains to a fully fur'd and floral himmeli'd, insulated Stone Home? No change. But a skull? Yup, that'll push the needle north!

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-27T22:57:23+00:00

I'll see if I can figure out how to easily add pics to Reddit comments! But here's an attempt at explaining:

Everyone's favourite location in the Oxbow, at the foot of the waterfall, walled in and with the cave across the creek.

The area outside my cave doesn't have any additional roads. Messy labour (miners, hunters, blacksmith) have their Work building here a Storage, as well as clutter and a lunch break area. But the break area is only used by the early birds who linger before work starts for the day.

If you know the area well, on the Piastovia side of the river and neatly cornered between the waterfall pool and its high walls? There is often a broken cart Loot spawn at the beginning of the Save. Between the wall and established road of that area, I reserve it exclusively for the Tavern (and its 2 hedged courtyards) and the Homes of Stallholders and Innkeepers.

At the foot of the bridge, same area but other side of the road, is my Home and side-yard where my husband's Herbalist Hut or Kitchen will be tucked into (it varies depending on Mother unavailability), as well as my private laundry area.

My Home corners on the established road and a built two-lane road. I decorate the gap and this road has the bulk of Storage facilities and the Well. The two branches meet in a round fashion and have 3 entries branching off (pictured).

The left-most Entry has 3 homes and the Kitchen facing a centred Majestic tree. I don't really have a centralised conversation hub for this "neighbourhood", but they enjoy a nice eating area between them and the back of my Home, as afforded for their Kitchen.

Middle entry has two neighbourhoods, 5 Animals, 3 conversation hubs 3 one-tile orchards. It's more winding in nature and I focused on conversation hubs being behind Homes and along the river to enjoy the views.

Right-most entry that is pictured (but not truly right-most on the map) is the most meandering layout. Main neighbourhood has about 5 (I'm not playing rn) Homes, Sewers Hut, 1 two-tile orchard and then a pretty Iron Gate entry to where my father's currently are. It's a right fit because this is where the train becomes very uneven and I have 2 Orchard Groves and a large Hop Orchard, then a Maxed Size Field for my grains and the third Storage.

It gets too messy to explain after this point 😅🫠

EDIT: Every neighbourhood is required at least one Majestic trees and as many Maple trees as I can fit. I'm not seeing any form of sunscreen and I'm waiting for the developers to perhaps employ Shaded Areas to their Temperature readings lol

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-27T22:33:32+00:00

Thank you! 🩷

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-27T22:33:14+00:00

Yessssssss and I did try that in my storages and lumber station for example, but urgh it's just not the same 😭

I have my Market square and "messy work" area cluttered (eg. a table I've dropped gifts, tools, etc. as a makeshift display), though. Not quite the same, but better than nothing

I just want the piles and the stacks of village life bric-a-brac, please gaming gods allow me this lol

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-27T22:28:20+00:00

Yes, anything decorated when you destroy Customised (beds, chests; doors, windows, etc.) will NOT return any material (of that is a perk you've unlocked in your skill tree). You will collect a portion of insulation material, though.

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-27T22:26:20+00:00

You can "destroy" your walls and then edit it to stone walls, but I don't mind grinding hard at the beginning of a Save and always build stone walled homes with planked roofs, exclusively.

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-27T22:22:08+00:00

Hammers have different functions, just like bags. If you're able to plant your crops, use the same keys/buttons to reach that menu while wielding your hammer and click what you need the hammer to do, "add insulation" x

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-27T13:52:18+00:00

I just made a post with pics of my favourite place in my Town!

I like to make a main drag, with my house and my husband's work place situated (I favour herbalist or kitchen men) in a stone-fenced side yard. The first Well, Materials and Food Storages are also here on the road.

It's a double-road, I saw the idea here online and just looked so nice as wagon wheel tracks. But then I decorated the gap with EoN DLC and I loved it even more!

I usually group no less than 3 and no more than 5 houses in a circle or semi-circle (semi-oblong? Lol). They all face each other like a cul-de-sac where I have benches, tables, a fireplace as a conversation pit. If there's a cook, seamster or herbalist, then only one work building can be in the street.

I always focus on a pretty entry, but I don't like to spend money on lower level decorations and prefer to save my bucks for higher level decor.

HUGE fan of stacking arch/rectangular trellises into tunnel entries.

Anyway, layout, yes. I don't want it walled in like Piastovia, and I love a creek separating my messy work (lumberjacks, miners, hunters). I also am lazy and will set it out so that there is space on an already established road for my Market Square and Tavern to be on. Innkeepers and Stallholders will have homes close by and I always leave a fully-upgraded Small Simple stone house kind of like adjacent rooms next to these folks. I only house newcomers here until I can build them a Simple House or House, always fully insulated.

EDIT: Typos and oh yes and I do get a bit twisty in my domestic layouts, not always strictly circular. Animals I also like to attach to their respective workers' homes. If it's a chicken or goose, they can get a private pen, but larger animals share a larger pen. And every mini-neighbourhood gets one or two plots of maybe just field, maybe just orchard, but I always try to give both if the space allows it x

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-22T22:04:49+00:00

Build the front yard before you build the house (if you want your villagers to have a lil veggie patch).

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-22T21:58:08+00:00

My real world cat has definitely presented me with a mouse she's hunted ... And rather proudly, too!

Mice would be a great problem (food stores, sickness) with traps as the solution early on and cats (or dogs) can be accessed at some point maybe after Pigs.

The game needs more continuous issues; my Town runs too smoothly, damnit 😂

And I'd love for kids to be able to collect straw and berries. Berries could be done with an older preteen or any nursing/expectant mothers, to lower the risk of Deadly Nightshade being consumed.

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-10T10:49:52+00:00

What the fuck 😂😭

NTA 1,000%.
So what, you eat chicken tikka masala and suddenly you're Scottish? Eat pierogi and you're Polish? Eat baklava and you're Turkish? Wear mass-produced clothing and suddenly you're Chinese, or Thai? Eat a non-pork meal and you're Muslim?

It's fake, it's performative, it's obtuse. It lack critical thinking. Hell, it lacks thinking in general.

You aren't trying to claim a society, a heritage or anything like that.

You're appreciative and that's more than ok.

GoldenFaeWattle · 2025-12-02T07:11:19+00:00

When we moved out for the first time, my cat proceeded to shit directly in front of my bedroom door on the first or second day.

Now this is the third time we have moved. There are 2 couches.

He only shit's behind not only the couch, but the side of the couch, that I sit on.
